At 13,000 acres, Lake Gogebic, in the Ottawa National Forest, is the largest inland lake in the Upper Peninsula. Its name, like that of Gogebic County, comes from the Ojibwa language and means "where trout rising to the surface make rings in the water." It's not surprising, then, that the lake offers excellent opportunities for fishing, as well as swimming, boating, and nature watching. Just keep in mind that if you travel the lake from tip to toe, you'll end up in a different time zone; part of Lake Gogebic is in Gogebic County (the Central Time Zone), while part is in Ontonagon County (the Eastern Time Zone). The Lake Gogebic area is also home to a 360-acre state park, located in Marenisco, with lake frontage and opportunities for camping.
